Every year I see all the incredible Halloween projects that people make. I've never had much opportunity to play around with hardware so it always feels like too big of a task to try. This year however I had a Raspberry Pi Zero W on the side and a small bit of time to make something. As with all my side projects I wanted to use the time to learn something new.
One Sunday I was having breakfast with a friend and got talking about team structures and how projects vary. It was a really useful discussion and I felt that other people might find conversations like that useful too, this idea very quickly became Interviews by Shane Hudson. I began building it that day and within just over a week I published the website with five interviews.
You know that feeling where you've done something but it isn't quite ready to show anyone? It's 14th June 2019 today and I wrote the first blog post about AR Bookmarks in September 2018. It's not ready to use yet, but it's getting close so I finally feel I can publish those early posts. I should have done it straight away but didn't want to put out vapourware.
Building websites is hard. Let’s explore the creation of a component from start to finish, in the context of an exaggerated reality where projects aren’t flawless.
I recently built a website for LimeMicro that gave a read-only view of their Ubuntu (white-labelled) App Store.
My book, JavaScript Creativity, was published by Apress in 2014. I used a mixture of various technologies from canvas and webgl through to video and web rtc, to explore the fun and crazy things that we can do on the web. Essentially it was my playground that I used to push the limits of the web.
Jeremy Keith summed it up nicely in the foreword as “a snapshot of the cutting edge of what’s possible in web browsers today”

Cowdray is a large estate based in Midhurst, just down the road from me, so I was excited when Alex Stanhope from 247 Creative approached me to help develop their new website.
